Kushner, who is Donald Trump’s son in law and top adviser, arranged a meeting with Kislyak at Trump Tower in December. Former national security adviser Michael Flynn also attended the meeting.

A White House official said Kushner set up the meeting with Kislyak because he served as the official primary point of contact with foreign governments and officials during the campaign and transition.

When he testified before the House Intelligence Committee last week, director James Comey confirmed the FBI is investigating the Russian government’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, including if there were any ties between Trump’s campaign and the Russian government.

The news comes the same day that Trump is expected to tap Kushner to lead a new White House office dedicated to innovating the government while fulfilling some of his key campaign promises.
